Accessing collected works

I downloaded the following e-book from the Kindle store:

THE COMPLETE PLAYS OF SHAKESPEARE (Special Kindle Illustrated and Commented Edition) All of William Shakespeare's Unabridged Plays AND Yale Critical Analysis ... (The Complete Works of Shakespeare) by William Shakespeare, The Complete Works Collection, Shakespeare Complete Works Series and Complete Works of Shakespeare (Kindle Edition - 17 Feb 2011) - Kindle eBook

All I can access from the book are the tragedies. The analysis and the comedies are not accessible to me.
They must be there, can anyone help me?

Are you sure you didn't just d/l the sample? (I notice that the tragedies are at the beginning.)

As far as i can see I downloaded the whole work. I was charged the full price, and I guess they sent me the full works.

Try removing it and re-downloading from your archive.

If this doesn't work, there is always the 'Refund' button on the web site.

I think I've sorted it out.

When you open the book from the "Home" menu for some reason it opens the book at the tragedies. If you then use the back page button over and over again it takes you through a succession of illustrated pages until it then takes you to the main index.

Quite why it does this, and what is the benefits of doing so, escapes me completely.

But I can at least now access the main menu.

There is actually an interesting question there, which won't mean anything to you, but will to some of the writers on here:

For an anthology etc., should the 'Beginning' tag be at the ToC? What about a short story collection?

I think this may be a function of how the Kindle system works. I find that with many books when you first open them the Kindle takes you to the first page of the story, yet, as the previous poster has found, if you back space you will find everything from the cover to the start of the story.

This could be somehow tied in with the kindle taking you back to where you left a story when you turn it on again.

The Kindle 'file format' has a "BEGINNING" tag, which you are supposed to anchor to the start of the 'proper' text - the beginning of the story - so in a way, the behavior was correct; but I was wondering if in the case of anthologies etc. the "BEGINNING" tag should actually be the Table of Contents.
